Turns out Obama was right again. Must suck to be the failed GOP leadership.

and we're having to do this NOW because Barry sat on his hands while ISIS moved across hundreds of miles of open desert with large groups of men and munitions to attack cities and strategic targets in Iraq.

Except that is not how it happened.

Here is how and why Mosul fell to DAIISH terrorist scum in pickup trucks but it was not across open desert and as if the Maliki govt knew it was coming, as you put out more false propaganda to try to make DAIISH into some fierce well organized army.

The Kurds offered to help defend Mosul but Maliki turned them down. You are a bigger fabricator than Curveball:


On June 6, hundreds of ISIS jihadists on pick-up trucks raced towards Mosul with the somewhat modest goal of seizing control of parts of the city for several hours, thus making a statement that the Baghdad government couldn't ignore.

Instead, the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) collapsed, ISIS pushed their advantage, and large swaths of northern Iraq fell under the group's control, according to a special report from Reuters by Ned Parker, Isabel Coles, and Raheem Salman.

As it turns out, one of the main reasons for the fall of Mosul was the Iraqi Security Forces' fatally poor logistics.

. Reuters: The first line of Mosul’s defence was the sixth brigade of the Third Iraqi army division. On paper, the brigade had 2,500 men. The reality was closer to 500. The brigade was also short of weapons and ammunition, according to one non-commissioned officer. Infantry, armor and tanks had been shifted to Anbar, where more than 6,000 soldiers had been killed and another 12,000 had deserted. It left Mosul with virtually no tanks and a shortage of artillery.


This shortage sharply undercut the manpower required to defend Mosul.

The city was meant to have approximately 25,000 soldiers and police defending it in total. In actuality, there was at most 10,000 security personnel in the city at the time of the attack.

And of these 10,000 personnel, many were under-equipped or deployed in a way that left the city badly exposed. One of the main entries into Mosul that ISIS attacked had only 40 men guarding it, according to the report.

Even when there enough personnel in place to put up resistance to the ISIS militants, the soldiers in Mosul found themselves outgunned.

"In my entire battalion we have one machine gun. In each pickup they had one," Dhiyab Ahmed al-Assi al-Obeidi, the colonel of the fourth battalion in Mosul, told Reuters.

Along with this logistical chaos, Reuters discovered that political failings played a decisive role in the fall of Mosul. On June 7, during the second day of the ISIS assault, Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani offered to send Peshmerga fighters to aid the ISF in Mosul. Maliki, suspicious of Kurdish intentions, twice declined the Kurds' assistance.

On June 10, Mosul fell to a force of slightly over 2,000 ISIS fighters as the final remnants of the ISF withdrew from the city, at times burning their uniforms in an attempt to blend in with the civilian population.

Take a look at a map of the Middle East and then come back here and tell me that ISIS forces didn't cross miles of open desert on the way to attack Mosul. Those pickup trucks could have EASILY been destroyed by American air power yet Barack Obama wouldn't admit that there was a problem even as ISIS was overrunning places like Mosul and driving right up to the outskirts of the capital of Iraq. Barry was still calling ISIS "the JV" right up until it became impossible to ignore what it was they were doing.

Your map tells you nothing of what went down last June. Five days prior to attacking Mosul the DAIISH terrorist scum attacked Samara and were repelled. They attack using roads not open desert. What insane ideas you have about DAIISH terrorist scum.

. On June 5, the ISIS assaulted Samarra from the west, and took control of five neighborhoods before being ejected by the military and police.

Also you do understand that Obama had been telling Maliki to make amends with the Sunnis in Anbar before providing direct military support including air strikes. Maliki had destroyed Iraq's army and didn't get the concept of US military assistance being tied to a change in his behavior. Thank god the Bush Maliki era is over.

Explain to me how you would move from Syria to Mosul without crossing hundreds of miles of open desert on those roads, Idiot Boy! You can't bring yourself to admit that Barry was asleep at the switch while ISIS was on the march...can you?

I already proved it to you. They were in Samara five days before that. T
Hey were in Fallujah five months before that. They were already in the vicinity of Mosul when they attacked. And of course they were joined by local anti-Maliki militias from Iraq. When you are the idiot you should stop calling other people an idiot.

Can you show me the route that you would use to move large numbers of fighters and their vehicles from Syria to attack Mosul without crossing hundreds of miles of open desert? I'd like to see you demonstrate how that would work...
 
All that you've "proven" is that the movement of those fighters took place over a period of time...yet our President didn't respond to what was happening...

They couldn't bomb every pickup truck they see on a road in Syria heading to Iraq from 2010 through 2014. You are nuts if you think DAIISH terrorist scum massed an army in Syria and then announced a huge impending invasion to take over Mosul so that Obama could bomb the hell out of them in Syria before the got to Iraq. You are one of the most uninformed Obama haters on this forum. Congratulations!


And you never address the problems that the US would create becoming the Air Force against the Sunnis that were aggrieved at the way Maliki was ruining Iraq.

You act as if Maliki was some kind of Iraqi George Washington. He was much closer to a Shiite S. Hussein

Isis already was extorting taxes from businesses in Mosul

That link is from here:

[/QUOTE]. No group can accomplish all that without a stated mission, determined management and lots of money. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, Isis already was extorting taxes from businesses in Mosul. before the city’s takeover, netting perhaps as much as $8 million a month. [/QUOTE]

ISIS isn t a band of unorganized militants it s a 21st century corporate juggernaut - DecodeDC Story

Now you need to explain how Obama was supposed to respond to DAIISH extortionists operating in the city of Mosul long before the Iraqi army abandoned its post and DAIISH terrorist scum took over that city with barely a fight.

DAIISH was long in the city of Mosul before the takeover. Bush signed a deal with Maliki at the end of 2008 that US troops had to be out of Iraq's cities by June 2009. Mosul is a city. Bush agreed to pull troops out of Mosul. US troops could not go into Mosul after June 2009. Bombing pickup trucks prior to June 2014 when DAIISH terrorist scum began an open assault in mostly Sunni areas is about as nutty as armchair Obama hating general's can get.
 
What kind of low life says "And quit picking on their Religion." and as for Obama, Obama is lost like a child tossed off a train down a cliff and into a river, swept along until can climb to shore and finally abandoned in the woods


Now That The Religious Are Exposed, Welcome The Soon Coming Destruction Of Religion

I already know that the religious desperately scramble to try and deny what is obvious all the while you seem to think you are fooling anyone. Millions if not billions of people lead to their death over thousands of years over filthy pathetic factually proven foundations of religious lies.

Take a look for example what happened between the Muslims and the Jewish people in the Middle East of which they are still fighting. But at one time the Jewish had to leave Israel or the Muslims were going to make them extinct.

Who was nice enough to give them refuge until getting fed up with their religious rhetoric? Germany did. But because the Jewish people valued filthy religious lies more than they valued human life, they were not only evicted from Israel, but they were also evicted from Germany only no other country wanted their religious filth plaguing their country so Germany got so fed up with them and the world around them for no one else offering to take them, that the holocaust began and all because people valued filthy religious lies more than they valued human life they had to suffer being imprisoned in camps.

Since no one else would take them because no one else wanted a mass number imposing their filthy religious lies in their country, the world decided to be humanitarian and take back Israel so they could take their filthy religious lies back over there where they are back at war with the Muslims.

It quite obviously is not over land as you will likely be so very desperate to try and make that out to be (the religious always try and make anything else to blame because they are that weak and pathetic to take responsibility for their own actions) because the Muslims know that if they evict them again that the world will just come back and give it back to what would then be even a more scarce population of religious fools who continue to value lies more than they value human life while, like you, trying to pass the blame off on everyone else.

Everyone of every religion values filthy religious lies more than they value human life and proof of this is quite simply that they are religious.

Thousands of years of war and divide leading to the death of millions if not billions of people and still the world is plagued with the disease known as religion.

The holocaust happened because people value lies more than they value human lives and those same people seek to try and blame everyone else for their own actions because they are too weak and pathetic to accept responsibility for their own actions and throw their religion in the garbage where it belongs.

How many people died for hundreds of years since before they were evicted, then during what they call a holocaust and now since the holocaust? Millions of people and here you sit practising religions only defence which is quite obviously ignorance.

Jesus Christ according to the religious themselves went to Rome spewing his religious filth and was slung up on a cross thus another fine example of filthy religious lies leading to war and divide exemplified by the religious themselves. How much more greedy or selfish can anyone be than to role play that which is factually proven not to exist aka a god?!!

The religious filthy lies, since long before Christ, eventually lead to the collapse of the Roman Empire and how many millions died there?

To top it off, the religious then stole the cross from the dead and called it a crucifix.

Many religious are those who worship or pray to the factually proven lie referred to by the religious as god, which is acknowledgement from themselves that what they worship or pray to must have intelligence to be able to understand. They also claim that what they pray to or worship is the creator of everything.

Not anything is able to go poof into existence out of nothingness, let alone be able to develop an intelligence without there first be energy matter and time to re create energy and matter.

Share with me even one example of anything going poof into existence out of nothingness?! No one ever will because the fact remains that it takes energy matter and time to recreate energy and matter.

You never will because what I share is the non contestable factual evidence falsifying every religious fundamental belief, what I share proves that the foundation of every religion is based upon lies. I do this because these lies have lead to the death of millions if not billions of people over thousands of years.

Again, the religious also steal from everything and attempt to attribute what they steal to their foundation of factually proven lies to assist them in taking advantage of those from a time of weakness for power and control over the many. (time of weakness, innocent little baby, just lost a loved one, just got raped, homeless, starving, just got in or out of jail, the list goes on and on) For example a thousand years before some selfish liar chipped out of stone what they call the ten commandments, would you want your family murdered, your possessions stolen etc. Throw away religion and there are are still morals that existed, which the religious stole, long before the religious stole those morals and attempted to attribute what they stole to their foundation of factually proven religious filthy lies.

I say to all of you who for now stoop to being religious, you are far better than that and all you have to do to prove it is accept responsibility for your actions instead of continuing to practice religions only defence which is ignorance and throw your religion where every religion belongs and that place to throw it is quite obviously in the garbage and a long time coming.

I value lives more than I value filthy religious lies and because I care I am here for all of you.

Here is a video for everyone to love, even those who for now degrade themselves with the title Muslims (every religion is just as filthy as any other)



What a breeze and my pleasure.

I'm always amused by those who say that the expiring Bush Status of Forces agreement meant we had no choice but to pull out our troops.

It meant we had to pull all of them out if Iraqis did not want them to stay. That is exactly what happened and it is still exactly what Iraqis don't want. They don't want Americans in a combat role on the ground in Iraq. In a way it's saying that Americans sacrificed too many lives already, it's now time for Iraqis to do the ground fighting on their own.

And they are. Simultaneous with the Tikrit operation they are attacking DAIISH terrorist scum in Kubaisa a city of western Anbar province.

More better news coming out of Iraq with no Americans getting killed over as so many were under Bush's command.
 
It seems to me that the only reason that conservatives have to be pissed about the way things are going against ISIL is that Obama's strategy is working. Middle Eastern nations are stepping up to the plate, with support from US bombers, and few Americans are being endangered. I call that a win/win, unless you're trying to make a case that Obama is incompetent.

Republicans keep saying Obama weak for not sending young Americans to the middle east (to die for no apparent reason).

He was right to hold them back. Let those in the Middle East take care of the middle east.

And quit picking on their Religion. Timothy McVeigh was both a registered Republican and a Christian. The KKK are Christians. The Aryan Nation are Christians.

Just leave the middle east alone. We can deal with what ever happens.
Thats why 44 is a two-termer. Repubs don't have any candidates that pass muster.
 
.

There's no way for us to know what's going on behind the scenes in wars, covert wars, or negotiations with other countries.

There's no way for us to know exactly what other countries are doing and how they're helping fight ISIS.

If this administration has other Middle East countries doing a lot of the work, that sounds pretty fucking good to me.

I think we've spent enough money and lost enough lives, limbs and minds shoving our nose into their business.

Obama has a strategy? For the Middle East? Really, Dragonlady? You're making a "funny"...right?
 
get off of the oil addiction is a strategy. Not initiating ground wars in Asia is a strategy.

How did Obama help us get off the oil addiction? What did Barry do to make THAT happen?

Ignoring the advice of your military leaders, pulling out all of your troops and leaving Iraq wide open for ISIS to move in, ignoring months of ISIS advances and atrocities while you label them the "JV", letting Iran move it's military into Iraq, letting Iran continue to build it's nukes...what part of ANY of that constitutes a competent "strategy" in your eyes, Dottie?
